1000 megapixel image (Super Resolution) Josh Rossi. 250 Megapixels, 8K. How To Create a Photo. Sep 19, 2013 - There's a reason why 1,000-megapixel cameras don't exist, and it's not because no one wants them (in fact, gigapixel photos are popular – they're made by stitching hundreds of photos together). There are three technical limitations to raising the megapixel rating of a camera in an effort to boost quality.

'When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.' - Samuel Johnson.

Do you know all the verses to the children's song, 'London Bridge is falling down'? They will take you through the history of London so let's have a look, shall we? First we need a bridge, in order for it to fall down. The Romans were nice enough to build the first one, probably using a combination of floating platforms and walkways. During Roman times the River Thames was much wider and shallower than it is today, so you could get away with mud hopping. As London has grown it has continually reclaimed the riverbank and funneled the river into a tighter channel, causing no small floods in the lower-laying areas.Now, London Bridge first fell down and became a song when the English were fighting Viking invaders from Denmark.

The English won by pulling down the Danish garrison and the bridge along with it. Wood and clay will wash away, wash away, wash away. That's part of the story. In 1014 more Viking invaders decided the bridge was in the way of their tall ships, so they tied ropes to it and rowed at full speed to help the bridge wash away.Verse Three: 'Build it up with bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar.'

The first stone construction began in 1176 and took thirty years to finish. This one lasted six centuries, but it still caught on fire and nearly collapsed a few times. This was the famous long-standing bridge bearing not only a church and houses, but also the heads of traitors preserved in tar and mounted on stakes. Of course, a multi-colored thread of zany events came to pass in the seven-century lifespan of the stone London Bridge -- witch burnings, boating collisions and drownings, the Plague -- it's all part of becoming the world's largest city, a rich title which London achieved in the nineteenth century. 'Bricks and mortar will not stay, will not stay, will not stay.' Build it up with iron and steel.

The then-decrepit and chokingly narrow stone bridge was rebuilt by John Rennie in the 1830's. Legend has it that the British custom of driving on the left-hand side of the road was an early attempt to solve the congestion on the bridge.If you can believe what comes next, Rennie's bridge was SOLD to an American investor who carted it off to Arizona. That was 1968. The current London Bridge was dedicated in 1973. Its concrete and steel construction was financed by the sale of Rennie's stone bridge.
